PRIORITY POLICY STATEMENT
This item matches the following Priority Policy Statements:
Fiscal and Organizational Stability
FISCAL IMPACT
The City Manager approved a $78,878.75 Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with HF&H Consultants, LLC’s for the May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026 period. Staff requests City Council approve Amendment No. 1 for an extended term (by one additional year) for a $95,000 not-to-exceed amount, increasing the total Agreement to $173,878.75, for HF&H to continue supporting the City through June 30, 2027.
This item generates no General Fund (Fund 10) impact. The Refuse Fund (Fund 46) has sufficient funds to support the PSA amendment cost for continued solid waste and recycling services. The $95,000 not-to-exceed cost includes the scope of services outlined in the proposal (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
California’s ongoing and expanding solid waste, recycling and organics diversion mandates, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, require cities adopt and implement a range of programs designed to achieve waste reduction and landfill diversion targets.
The City Manager approved a professional services agreement with HF&H Consultants, LLC for the period of May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, to support Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) program implementation, compliance efforts, program expansion and assistance for the City CalRecycle Corrective Action Plan. The City remains committed to meeting all state‑mandated regulatory requirements and continues to rely on the high‑quality expertise of HF&H Consultants, who have been instrumental in advancing program implementation and compliance.
The proposed consulting services agreement with HF&H Consultants represents a critical component to ensure full SB 1383 program implementation, future program expansion and readiness for forthcoming legislative requirements. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to the existing PSA to extend the term by one additional year through June 30, 2027 and continue SB 1383 implementation and other future program requirements.
